AP and SM should be able to dump their xml config via the command line that way we can use rancid/oxidized to backup and maintain clean backups along with the rest of our network, and can restore the config via web interface.
This honestly should be there already i can't believe it's not, its available via web interface, but no way to export from cli, no equivilent of "show configuration" from very other network device
Do you know you can save your config with SNMP?

You must have a web server to receive these update.
snmpset -v2c -c Canopy 10.10.10.10 WHISP-BOX-MIBV2-MIB::exportConfigFile.0 s "http://my.server/path/"
Yep i know that exists, but that seems to be a roundabout way of doing a backup, vs using something like rancid or oxidized to a git repository that keeps change management and history available. a telnet/ssh with a show config to dump is the defact standard for every network device (every other network device)
